Here's
an important lesson to all the youngsters out there, courtesy of Fox News: Both Jesus AND
Santa Claus were white.

During
her show last night, Fox News' Megyn Kelly addressed a Slate article that argued that Santa Claus should no longer be portrayed as a white
man. Maybe he should be a penguin instead, argued Aisha
Harris, the Slate writer. Kelly's reaction? Nope.

"By
the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white but
this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black
Santa," Kelly said, before briefly pausing to acknowledge that she
can sort of kind of understand how that might be painful for a black
child. But only kind of sort of. "Just because it makes you feel
uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," she added.

But
she didn't stop there. She went on to address Jesus' race. You know,
the Semitic fellow allegedly born in the Middle East
2000 years ago.

"Jesus
was a white man, too," Kelly said. "He was a historical figure. That's a verifiable
fact — as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that. My
point is, how do you just revise it in the middle of the legacy of
the story and change Santa from white to black?"

But
let's back up a second. Jesus' whiteness is a "verifiable fact"
as is... Santa's? The fictional character parents lie to their
children about every year? Hmm.
